Struff-Sinner is a match valid for the third round of the Atp Masters 1000 tournament in Monte Carlo: schedule, news, statistics, predictions, live TV and streaming.
He is a multitasking Jannik Sinner. Whether playing on concrete or clay, the South Tyrolean confirms his dominance on any surface. In his debut in the Monte Carlo Masters 1000, the first of the season on the shredded brick, the world No. 2 stayed on court just over an hour, barely giving up three games to U.S. Sebastian Korda, who left dejectedly at the end of the match.
A clear 6-1 6-2 in which the Italian never allowed the American, who two days earlier had shone in his match against Spaniard Davidovich Fokina, to get into the match. Sinner did not resort exclusively to his extraordinary skills as a baseline player to dispose of the practice: he often approached the net and also brought home points, for example, through masterful short balls. “I moved well but I need to improve on serve,” the San Candido native said after the match, also anticipating some possible tactics to use in the upcoming match with German Jan-Lennard Struff. Sinner’s goal in the Principality is to at least repeat last year’s semifinal: finishing in the top 4 would allow him to maintain his second place ranking and avoid the counter-overtaking of Carlos Alcaraz, who retired due to injury.
Only one previous but very recent
He will also undoubtedly start favored against the experienced Warstein tennis player, who at 33 is still stable in the top 30 of the world rankings.
Struff, gifted with a powerful serve, has already overcome two not at all trivial obstacles in Roquebrune, Argentina’s Baez and Croatia’s Coric, and cannot be underestimated. There is only one precedent with the Italian, moreover from a month ago: on the Indian Wells cement it was Sinner who prevailed with a peremptory 6-3 6-4.
Struff-Sinner: the prediction
Sinner has shown he can have his say even on slower surfaces like clay. Every match has its own story but it is unlikely that the version admired against Korda will struggle against Struff: the Italian, too, should come out on top in two sets this time.
